"Is these two foundation-building pills finally used by Ming Ling and Tingchou?"

"Yes... Mingpu still has sixteen years, and there is a chance later." Lu Chaoxi sighed and replied to his father like this.

"That's good." Lu Qing said, "It's a good thing that they succeeded. Now there are five foundation-building cultivators in the family. Including you, Qi Ming, is not much worse than his Zhao family. You must work hard to practice your own cultivation. When will you reach the second level?"

"It probably will take a few years."

"Um."

At this moment, Lu Qing was chatting with Lu Chaoxi. The time for him to leave the seclusion was set before, and Lu Chaoxi also came on time.

"By the way, my father." He mentioned another thing, "Wen En has also come, saying that he wants to kowtow to you. He should have left home to Qingfeng Gate half a month ago, but in order to wait for you to wake up in seclusion, he delayed for half a month."

"This brat..."

"Eh?" Lu Chaoxi didn't know why his father said that. Logically speaking, his father should not be familiar with Wen En?

Oh, by the way, when I was fighting in northern Xinjiang the previous year, my father's spiritual consciousness came to Wen En, guiding him out of the predicament.

Then why did my dad call him a bad boy?

"Let him do it." Lu Qing's voice sounded again.

"Okay." Retracting his thoughts, Lu Chaoxi walked out.

Outside the deep passage in the retreat room, Wen En was waiting outside, and Gongsun Que was accompanying him. This young lady Gongsun has been a guest at the Lu family for a year. The Lu family treated her as an important guest. Some resources for food, clothing, housing and transportation are all equipped as fully as possible as possible as the family's daughter-in-law. The grandson's wife is still from the wealthy family of a thousand-year-old family. How can she not treat her well?

When the two of them got along at the beginning, although they were a little embarrassed and shy, they might not really think about marrying each other. At most, they had some good feelings. Most of these good feelings might even be urged by Gongsun Xia.

But in this state, if you spend a year together day and night, except for the time they practice, they are basically together. Whether it is out for a walk, visiting towns, or historical sites, the relationship warms up quite quickly.

The Lu family is already preparing to propose marriage to Gongsun...

"Get in, the ancestor is awake."

"Yes." After bowing to the patriarch, and saying something to Gongsun Que, he walked into the deep passage in the back mountain alone, and at the gate of the retreat room, he swayed the hem of his robe, knelt down on his knees, protruding himself into the ground.

"Unworthy descendants, bow to ancestors."

"Get up." Lu Qing's voice came.

When Wen En heard this, he was exactly the same as the sound he heard on the battlefield two years ago.

"Wen En dared not. Lord Gaozu helped me escape from the battlefield, but I felt suspicious and even complained about this unfilial behavior. Now I feel guilty when I think of it."

hehe.

Lu Qing was happy, and he wouldn't have bothered him: "Get up, those who don't know will not be guilty, I have never blamed you."

Hearing this, Lu Wenen dared to get up.

After asking about his recent situation, Lu Qing asked him to leave.

Then, Lu Chaoxi came in again.

"My father... let Wen En know that you are awake, is that okay?"

"It's okay." Lu Qing said, "It's not seventeen years ago."

Lu Chaoxi suddenly realized.

Seventeen years ago, when Lu Qing just woke up, it was not advisable to promote too much about his death, although he was actually dead.

At that time, the family was at its weakest time. Lu Qing had just obtained the system and could not perform any effect; the family had only three foundation building blocks, but their strength was not good. If the enemy quoted, Zhao Zidan from the Zhao family didn't have to go out, and a few more foundation building blocks were created, the Lu family would not be able to stand it.

What is there to say?

I beat you because I suspect that your Jindan monk may not die; I dare not beat you because your Jindan monk is really not dead.

It’s really different now. So what if Zhao Zidan comes in close contact?

I, Lu Qing, have prepared a big baby for you!

...

Later, Lu Qing told his son about something very important.

Regarding the construction of the family's contribution system.

"From now on, we will not give spirit stones to our tribe members. The annual salary and cultivation subsidies will be exchanged for contributions."

"Please explain in detail by my father."

"It's just like the merits of going north to participate in the war this time. The value of the family contribution is equivalent to a piece of spirit stone, and it can also be exchanged for spirit stone."

"Isn't this... the same as before? In the past, the vast majority of the things they wanted to buy were bought from the family's treasury. Only a few of them really didn't have one would go out to buy... No! I understand. According to my father, will you only spend the contribution value if you buy things from the family in the future? The contribution value can be exchanged for the spirit stone, but the spirit stone cannot be exchanged for the contribution value?"

"Yes."

"In this way, everyone will not save too much spirit stones, and the funds will be much more preserved in the family. It will have no impact on the clan members, but the family will become richer and it will be easier to mobilize funds to do big things!"

"That's it." Lu Qing's tone had a taste of being taught by a child.

This is something that comes from the thinking of the monetary system in previous lives and from the merit system implemented by the coalition forces during this trip to Northern Xinjiang.

After execution, it means a bit like credit currency. As a currency, the spirit stone is a bit like the gold in Lu Qing's impression in his previous life. It has real material value, even more than gold. The spirit stone can even be regarded as the lifeblood of monks, not just a manifestation of wealth.

The family contribution is said to be directly exchanged with the spirit stone, but its value is essentially a system based on the credit of the Lu family.

To be honest, if Lu Chaoxi can't figure it out one day and runs away with the money, the remaining tribesmen will all lose all their money.

But this matter would not happen. One is that Lu Chaoxi himself would definitely not do it. He is not that kind of person, he can die for the family. In addition, simply speaking of interests, being the patriarch in the Lu family is not as comfortable as a casual cultivator with some money?

Of course, on the other hand, there must be a way to eliminate such things from a systemic perspective. For example, as the patriarch, Lu Chaoxi did not care about finance or the treasury.

If you force yourself to grab it... you can't talk anymore, outsiders can also grab it.

In short, it's not that easy to run away with the money by yourself.

After hearing his father's words, Lu Chaoxi was about to leave and prepare for the matter.

Lu Qing's consciousness flew out. He planned to take a short walk around Yuyan Mountain and the surrounding areas. If nothing happened, he would prepare to go back to seclusion and practice, and strive to break through to the sixth level of Jindan as soon as possible.

Although it is useless for the time being, he is now very confident in his resurrection.

Maybe he will enter the Nascent Soul Stage in the future!

"That's not good... How many years will it take to be resurrected when the Nascent Soul is really going to be resurrected? And if it's true that kind of resurrection, I don't know if there is any free and sufficient spiritual energy provided by the system. Alas... it's really a tangled thing."

Lu Qing began to have delusions.

After thinking for a while, his consciousness floated back to the back mountain.

Retracting his thoughts, he didn't find anything special, so he planned to go back to his body to practice.

But as soon as I returned to my body and was about to turn on the retreat, a message came over.

【One Star Achievement: Heroic Behavior】

[Family members Lu Mingsi, Lu Minghai, and Lu Meiting made heroic behaviors to fight for family interests and had a certain impact.]

【Reward: 10 Karma】

...

What is this?

Why are you doing heroic again?

Or Lumings?

Lu Qing recalled that Lu Mings seemed to be Lu Weiwen's father. He should be a family monk stationed in Pingyao County for a long time, responsible for the family's interests in Pingyao.

Back then, he was the one who went to Pingyao County to sell horses, and he was the one who was beaten up...

Why did something happen again?

Now, Yuyanshan must have not received any news yet, and Lu Qing didn't plan to wait for anyone to come to report to him. He simply stood up and flew straight to Pingyao County. He arrived at the place in half a day.

At present, the monk who lives in Pingyao in the family is Lu Tinghua. He is the eldest of the Ting generation. He is 87 years old this year. He is the ninth level of Qi training. He is Lu Mingsi's father, Weiwen's biological grandfather, and Chaoheng's eldest son.

In the past, Tinghua was in charge of the Huinengshi mine. A year ago, Lu Chaojun was transferred back to Yuyan Mountain from Pingyao County to undertake the family common affairs, but Pingyao must also have a mature person with deep faith and hope, so he sent Lu Tinghua to do it.

While on the road, Lu Qing also checked the current status of the two men who were causing heroic behavior.

Mins has nothing, Lu Minghai, who is at the seventh level of Qi training, is seriously injured.

When he arrived in Pingyao County, Lu Qing immediately went to the Lu family mansion to take a look. There was only one monk there.

There should be six monks who are now based in Pingyao.

There was no hurry to do anything. From the conversation between the people in the mansion, Lu Qing learned that the place where the accident happened was Luantou Mountain outside the city.

Luantou Mountain is a first-level spiritual vein in Pingyao County. More than 20 casual cultivators formed a small gang to practice on it. Because they were barren, they had a deep connection with Pingyao County and needed to exchange materials for cultivation more frequently.

Whether it is renting Luantou Mountain or exchanging the materials needed for cultivation (taxes are required), these are all providing income to Pingyao County.

The matter lies in the payment issue of Rentou Mountain.

Last year, in a very unfriendly atmosphere, the Lu family and the two families discussed a result and returned to the Lu family to collect the rent, so the Lu family went there by themselves.

In the past, the Zhao family had always collected the rent of Pingyao's artificial spiritual vein cave and the rent of the surrounding low-level spiritual veins first, and then distributed the money to the Lu family according to the proportion. The income of the two families in the market in Pingyao County was each subject to their own respective income.

There will be a lot of tricks here, what is the rental amount? How much is it collected? Are there any yin and yang accounts? Are there any other transactions?
